Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required. However, soaking seeds in water for a few hours before planting can help speed up germination.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.
Use seed-starting trays filled with a quality seed-starting mix.
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and cover lightly with soil.
Maintain a soil temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days.
Provide sufficient light using grow lights or place in a sunny window to ensure strong, healthy growth.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
Plant seedlings 24-36 inches apart in rows spaced 36-48 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
Plant seedlings deep, burying part of the stem to encourage a stronger root system.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage.
Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Support: Provide stakes, cages, or trellises to support the plants and keep the fruit off the ground.
Pruning: Prune the lower leaves and suckers (the shoots that grow in the leaf axils) to improve air circulation and direct the plant's energy toward fruit production.
